Abstract

The lack of readiness levels for humans is delaying their inclusion in technology development and making it difficult to identify human health hazards. Developing medical capabilities for spaceflight independently and creating a safety framework is crucial for aligning spaceflight medical capability with terrestrial medical requirements. Space travel affects human health due to physiological changes, stress exposure, and limited medical care. Flight surgeons play a vital role in safeguarding astronauts' wellness and functionality. Some studies have suggested strategies to help astronauts overcome challenges, including 3D printing for personalized medicine in space exploration. Spaceflight affects crewmembers by exposing them to physical and mental stressors, requiring adaptation to microgravity, and reducing their infection-fighting ability. Space travel affects human health at the cellular level and influences processes like cancer cell survival. Proposed solutions for space medicine include Point-of-care Ultrasound Training and AI algorithms for automated image interpretation.
